Working with one doesn't particularly worry me, as I am definitely a TP and not pushing any limits. It's deciding on a
device that won't cost me an arm and a leg but is still reliable and just going for it. I am notorious for buying the wrong thing in a haste. I don't want to make the same mistake on this one. I am expecting a bit of a windfall sometime this year, maybe next year (inheritance type stuff from my dad passing last year), and a couple mechs will be on my "time for a treat" list.

just tell them you're on your manstrual cycle.
